a: christopher rau_people see: dérive is de retour! and time always waits for this man: christopher rau, dérive’s infamous impresario who offers you a delightful floating track on the a-side, its tricky and nonetheless very danceable rythmn should encounter you on the dancefloors in a spring-like mood. b: christopher rau_sekt é ron: on the back-side christopher shows his other musical side: dark, tripping, meditating. but what does the title mean? probably he doesn’t know either. however, its cryptic style fits the inscrutable shape of the track. well, you’ll hear from us at the latest next year again – approximately! – according to the gentle beat of dérive …

up first, juice machine is a barreling cut with pinging drums that ride up and down in infectious style. carefully treated vocals echo up top and add a dub flavour as subtle rave horns and old school motifs also colour the groove. when remixed by re.you, the track becomes a more subdued, deeper cut with spraying synths and a sense of late night paranoia in the grooves. lastly, badass acid is a minimal cut with warm pads, hiccuping sine waves and a growing sense of synthetic tension. it s a masterful bit of slow burning craftsmanship that has icy hi hats to die for.

what if you never sleep? sally rodgers (a man called adam) has written these few words, that anyone can imagine his own night story on. the 2 french boys patrick vidal (marie et les garçons) and laurent caligaris (working withterrence parker, enola, scan x) get the balance rigth for a nigth walking closed to art dep. iconic honey dijon (classic, ny) delivers a pure old school chicagos style remix as oskar offermann (white/hardmoon, berlin) goes step by step into a beautifull rythmic, melodic, hypnotic remix.

pittsburgh track authority return with a new single-sided limited edition edits record on the imprint that bears only their own logo. “i always wanted to be in a band” kicks things off in an early 70s soul jazz style, with infectious vocals and catchy horns doing the damage. next, a flute driven cover of the dance classic “lowdown” keeps the disco-funk vibes of the original but with added springtime/summer vibes. both of these have done damage for pta at their gigs, and now they can do damage for you at yours. a fitting end to the magenta logo series!

after a strong first release contort yourself returns with events at the fatal party which comes over more as a description than a title, brimming with a bubbling sense of tension and fear. hamburg duo fallbeil kick things off in impressive style with a crunchy acid monster which twists and turns followed by two killer proto-techno cuts from legendary french industrial band die form from their 1985 tape hurt. here we find ourselves in a unsettling scenario with metallic voices scowling over clanging machines and guitar feedback in an unhinged way. the mysterious slugbug (l.i.e.s./russian torrent versions) starts the flip with goback, a creeping acidic beast moving unstoppably forward as a reverberating voice ripples throughout. any calm is then shattered by ibm a.k.a. jamal moss whose remix of die form hammers home a tough seven minutes of mangled synths, bubbling acid and thundering drums. a highly recommended, intense journey.

having previously plied their wares on is it balearic and los grandes, spanish nu-balearic sorts two mamarrachos pop up on another suitably horizontal imprint, dependable leeds label joe s bakery. there style is sunkissed by druggy, with opener al andalus offering an exotic, chugging blend of foreboding, lowslung grooves and arabic synthesizer melodies. super disco dancer delves deep into the box marked experimental analogue electronic disco, with heady, spaced-out synthesizers sprawling all over a typically atmospheric, cosmic groove. let feel higher is, arguably, the most balearic of the three, with warm acoustic guitars and delayladen gospel vocal samples creating a suitably toasty, glassy-eyed mood

the second part in the hudd traxx 10th anniversary *now & then* compilation sees tracks from luna city express, sek, iz & diz and rick wade. berlin duo luna city express serve up a lush deep house groove that builds throughout the track, and will bring a smile to the faces of those who follow them on their beloved moon habour recordings. sek uses slick beats, trippy leads, a driving bassline and some *thug life* vocals to ensure this one has future classic written all over it. go back in time (to 2006 to be precise) on the then side to find iz & dizs *happy*. the words epic & journey are often misused in music but both can be mentioned about this track. it had devastating effect on first release and is set to do the same again nearly 10 years later. rick wade closes things out in fine style to fly the detroit flag on an all chicago / detroit side.

yes, so we re finally here, the 100th release of gamm enterprises ! since the very first release with red astaire s now classic follow me gamm have remixed, reworked and edited almost every style under the black music banner. gamm have and will always aim to deliver dj friendly black dance music regardless of style. gamm simply bring out that little extra in your favourite tunes. so for our 100th anniversary release we thought we really needed to bring out the big guns. what could be better than an ep where the mighty the reflex and up and coming remix star moplen came together and re-work the greatest artist of al time, michael jackson! sounds pretty good right? the reflex, moplen and mj...what a trio! well, there s not much more to say really except that if you like disco, boogie and mj this is the biggest musical home run of all time. lets boogie...gamm style!

having produced one third of nas generation-defining illmatic, large professors place on the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights is already etched in stone. when you add in his groundbreaking debut as a member of main source - or the fact that he has collaborated with luminaries like pete rock, a tribe called called quest, busta rhymes, mobb deep, masta ace, and big daddy kane - it is crystal clear that the mans influence towers high above the history of the hip hop.
with fat beats records’ release of re:living, large professor builds on his already impressive discography with an entirely self-produced record that delivers all the crisp drums, razor-sharp scratches, and innovative uprock grooves that define his signature sound. *i m moving forward,* large says, *but i went back to an earlier formula. with this project i feel like it is the closest that i take it back to that main source style.*
featuring roc marciano, inspectah deck, cormega, g-wiz, fortune, and lord jamar, re:living shines a spotlight on new yorks best voices from the golden era to today. but above all, large professor lets his production do the talking - and with a legacy like his, beats speak louder than words.

for the first reference, sounds of the city is happy to welcome the mysterious spirit of the black 808, responsible for one of the hottest pieces of wax in 2013 for eargasmic recordings in chicago. invasion of the black bass is also following the eargasmic record in terms of style. it s warm in every way and infectious. let s get invaded with invasion of the black bass and invasion of the black house. both tracks share the same chords grid, one could be a reinterpretation of the other. both are very warm and melodic. frenzy in firenze on the other side demonstrates sb8s skills for groovy tools and more dj oriented tunes.

the second release on fina white is a four tracker from rising barcelona producer and former rbma attendee clip! diverse releases on discomaths, classicworks, sweat taste and jd records, coupled with his signature hardware only live shows have really put clip! on the map locally and throughout europe. key to his sound is a shifting style and impressive knowledge of sound design, displayed on this brotherhood ep though four pure and unadulterated peak time cuts. there s a real menace to the bassline, low end throb and razor hats of the title track, whilst r36 showcases the fusion of sounds clip! can attain in his productions. on the flip side, forward is, surprise, a no messing, relentlessly percussive banger whilst dissonance s technique heads down an equally straight-up, rough n ready path.

rising label 04 is coming with a very complete ness ep which includes a ben gibson remix. >chronoscope< is the intro track that opens the release, a beautiful landscapes piece where ness shows his love and dexterity for the ambient music. following, >pantropy< is already starting with a heavy kick, far voices layered between the percussions and a sweet melody developing and coming up with that >trancey< touch that ness is able to do. on the b side comes >uchronia<, the track from where the release take the name, a strong broken track with shaped and dynamic percussions where some >chronoscope< landscapes are used flowing as the track goes on. to close the ep ben gibson delivers a classy >uchronia< remix going simple but effective, a perfect balance between gibson style and ness track that totally works out on the floor and makes the prefect closing track for that release.

ltd to 100 copies --- the eight heulsuse comes by hanne & lore themselves, boasting with some cripsy kickdrums and distinctive bars to keep the dancefloor bouncing. *samara* should definitely roil up the whole zone with the venturesome title track itself. but just in order to clean it up again, the b-side brings the avowed style back to the next level - the clue is in the name with *come clean*. the tape release includes a download code.

shadeleaf continues, with a strident 7 out of 7 on the scoreboard! following a stunning (and sell-out !) ep earlier last year, the north easts answer to michigans finest, steps up again, with probably his strongest work to date. mannmademusic became known very quickly, over the space of a few low key, but expertly realised edits releases for the likes of glenview, lumberjacks in hell & diner city sounds. this ep sees him continue wearing his influences proudly, but re-imagine them in an altogether rawer framework - samples woven together, augmented and redefined, some of it following the classic kdj blueprint but laid out in a style thats all his own. those familiar loops submerged and unfurling, rubbing up against altogether more off-kilter but coherent workouts, sat alongside perfectly measured electronic jams all combining into an ep that stands head and shoulders above the competition. another shadeleaf sureshot!

new imprint special edition launches in some style with a top release from the rather talented, emerging italian producer kiu d. this guy has been grabbing a lot of influential peoples attention recently and it is not surprising on this kind of devastating form. the man can produce and has a fine taste in music to match. pulling on influences from funk, disco and house music, he turns out 3 top class jams with super hi fidelity that are destined to set any dance floor on fire. definitely one to look out for and a great start for special edition!

the gift is a series dj house shoes started to spotlight under the radar producers. pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies on 180 gram vinyl. raj mahal was a colleague of house shoes in the detroit hip-hop scene in the 1990s, a scene he joined just about the time fantastic volume one was recorded (1996). when he moved to chicago and refined his style, there was widespread talk that raj would follow in the footseps of other detroit alumni by releasing a proper album. that album has finally come.

emergency cosmetics is new york hardware afficionado j. albert s second 12inch offering, and comes as the inaugural 12inch release for los angeles based hesperian sound division. a valient effort into capturing a fully realized aesthetic, the ep digs into all corners of the brooklyn producer s repertoire, nodding a head towards classic ny style house and contemporary electronics alike. side a of the record explores an etherial and transcendent voice, with tracks, beta 3, and cult classic, are you in. on the b side, a departure towards concise and minimalist dancfloor cuts presents itself, beginning with high hat clinic pick me up, and culminating in the weighty yet delicate floor burner, givin lip

lunatic with its second release. jennifer touch as the producer and singer presents three tracks in that beautiful mixture between cold new wave and dramatic synthpop that we all love. after several releases on ortloff, riotvan and female pressure she is now going to show full strength in her first solo-ep.
on the a-side, you just forces the listener on the dancefloor with its wild attitude, while the b-side shows the more calm and melancholic way of her musical spectrum with astra and boom. may you think you heard that style before - you dont. the jennifer touch ep is in the spirit of the time as it can be!

the second sampler from glenns brand new album. jazzy and soulful chicago house in glenns distinctive strictly jaz unit style. deep with in on the a-side is a jazzy instrumental while star gate (star gate mystic heard piano mix) is a spacey groover with a female spoken word vocal. dope!

quickly becoming one to watch in the techno circles, john shima is making waves with his fresh approach to that classic detroit sound. his contribution for boe is nothing short of a stunning representation of underground electronic music. prototype is a sonic ode to industry: blueprinted in the motor city and forged in sheffield. it s heads down for the dance floor with shimmering metallic overtones and a side order of robot jack. ancient skies points more towards chicago stylings capturing the melancholy party vibe of early cajual records with crystal clear production skills and neat arrangements. transducer is groovy experimental techno that could have easily sat on the much-revered objet d art. it s electronic music that will stand the test of time. rounding off the ep in fine style is true distance. a stunning ambient piece with deep pads and swirling melodies that complement and round of the ep perfectly.

east to west is about horizons. facing the sea, east or west, at dusk or dawn, it never appears the same. we talk about well known territory, the world of move d and benjamin brunn. following a number of collaborations, now for the first time the two present individual works on one record, back to back. this 4-track split ep is a must-have and collector s item: ermitage, a collaboration of moufang, vladimir daronkin and dmitry cherednichenko, recorded in st. petersburg. eastman from moufang s legendary kunststoff album, sounding as fresh as it did 20 years ago received a new finish by dubplates & mastering. brunn makes extensive use of spoken word, an unusual style for him, in da hulk. for d k dates from his tr-707 period and mimics a party in a submarine.

mr.g is extending his well received personal momentz lp with an add on disc. 4 g style club tracks that fit perfectly with the original discs. this record could/should be used as an addition to the original album.

nowadays we live in an era of minimally processed products, an age where electronic music is no longer a meticulous and painstaking craft but instead becomes a dish of fast-food, an easy-to-digest and cheap product. luckily, there are still musicians who refuse to enter this business circle and continue exploring, investigating all angles of this clubbing culture. joton has been following this way since the beginning of his career. he has been learning, experimenting, looking for the roots sound, and shaping its complexity until reaching a techno style full of energy and depth.

vekton 31 is a record for vinyl-lovers of the two talented artists maki polne and lorenzo chiabotti based in berlin. both sides are very different and reflect their individual, detailed production style with lovely dub elements. we look forward to - everlasting treasuries 5 where the two vekton-debutants are also represented.

east to west is about horizons. facing the sea, east or west, at dusk or dawn, it never appears the same. we talk about well known territory, the world of move d and benjamin brunn. following a number of collaborations, now for the first time the two present individual works on one record, back to back. this 4-track split ep is a must-have and collector s item: ermitage, a collaboration of moufang, vladimir daronkin and dmitry cherednichenko, recorded in st. petersburg. eastman from moufang s legendary kunststoff album, sounding as fresh as it did 20 years ago received a new finish by dubplates & mastering. brunn makes extensive use of spoken word, an unusual style for him, in da hulk. for d k dates from his tr-707 period and mimics a party in a submarine.

bomb! first release on subwax black label series sees the swedish dream team signing ibrahimovic on the a-side making the debut in fine style. the track camp nou is one hell of a techno belter and will leave no serious techno crowd unremarked. on the b-side the new face from the east velez weaves together patterns inspired by dusty machines, black magic and slavic paganism for the track black wool.

now living in warsaw, donnell knox was well known, along with black nation s jay denham for forging a tough, distinct kalamazoo techno sound in the 90s. his label, sonic mind, put out some very coveted, underground wax that still sounds unique, extra rugged, and fresh. well d-knox is now on a bit of a comeback mission it seems, with some really inspiring new material, and “africa calling”. the first version, created to donnell’s much loved “spirit man” alias, is a soulful trek through layers of pads and emotive synth work. the simple, but uplifting, vocal snippet really gives it an organic and spiritual feel, the tempo is driving and quick, but the overall vibe is laid back and deep. remixes come from the likes of brooklyn based titonton duvante, who maximizes a synth pattern to a form a beautiful, reaching, version, while canada’a rennie foster channels his futago traxx style to present a full on tribal, drum based mix with added vocal pieces. also, detroit transplant, now living in canada as well, j garrett goes in with a very emotional, warm, string laden take. the ep is capped off with another version from donnell that could stand as it’s own track really, a totally different, but equally as strong, version featuring a driving baseline and detroit style string vamps. a really nice release, worthy of your support, from a well loved veteran of the techno underground.

now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

after the big success of the first classic series by k alexi shelby, technorama is back and proud to present a new release by swedish rising techno producer santiago naura aka bleak. releases on delsin, secret sundaze, deeply rooted and his own driven label naura records have helped him establish himself as one of the new generation of techno producers to watch. swedens bleak is fast becoming an essential part of his countrys techno new school recognised for creating and pushing that vision that’s integral to transcending your experience into something inspiring. his personal style of techno is of the deep, hypnotic,hardware-based variety , that engulfs you and never lets you go. here you can find three brilliant mixes, a real package of hard driving, deep, raw and analog techno bombs, including a powerful remix by upcoming talent stefan vincent (traut, balans, dynamic reflection). hope you all will enjoy these. real head shakers!

anders enges interest in modular synthesizers comes from a desire to shut down conscious decisions about form and to focus on rhythm and timbre. this does however not land in traditional techno but rather in a riff-oriented style, the riff being both rhythm and melody and also a morphing entity in the music. drums and percussion attempt to follow this entity, while maintaining a link to the dance music pulse. the resulting style makes for a hybrid timewarped experience of travelling a parallell electronic music reality, a brooding technoid that grooves

back at it again, taking the true essence of the “jacking” sound of chicago house and putting it’s own stamp on it is what obsolete music technology has done with their new 12&#8243,, entitled, “volatile.” warbling, wobbling, distorting, sinisterly acidic basslines abound is the best way to describe this release! for dance floors only! you have been warned! “volatile” starts off with some 707 drums intro and then fading in, is this tripped out, bubbling bass sound that sends you off a cliff! just when you think that’s all to the track, dark, melancholic pads comes in for added atmos-fear! rounding out the a-side is “killin,” with it’s 2 acid style basslines, one sounding at a high octave and the other at a lower octave. riffs playing separately sounding great, but when played together, there is something slightly, mentally off. on the b-side, “broken siren” is high energy! 808 tom drums bringing the funky low end while a short, electronic piano lick drenched in warm, fuzzy, flange effect. setting it off is a decayed sine wave, mimicking an actual alarm sound. lastly, “electric current” best describe this distorted acid bassline and its tweaking filter and resonance controls over jacking 808 drums

vinyl only release, incl orlando voorn remix, emotional detroit techno style

frenetic, intense and fully livity sound in style, these definition defying tracks are the results of several jamming sessions between label mainstay peverelist and rising star hodge, their first collaborative release since the bells 12inch on punch drunk records in 2013. this 12inch marks the second release of 2015 for the label which continues to define the cutting edge of uk dance music.
